This photo taken on Tokyo, Japan belongs to the Behind the Veil collection, born from two and a half months in Japan during the summer of 2018. What began with the idea of Noren- traditional fabric dividers that at first felt like barrier- grew into a deeper exploration of veils and thresholds. Again and again I found curtains, blinds, frosted glass, half-open windows: partitions of privacy, of mystery. The veil became a metaphor for distance, for presence and absence, for the space between seeing and knowing. Each image captures a figure just beyond reach - partially hidden, shielded, or turned away- leaving only silhouettes, gestures, traces. These could be anyone, and the viewer is invited to step in, to bring their own emotions, their own stories, their own projections.
